2022
Brand Registration & Factory Construction
A pivotal year for Dodan Foods as we officially registered our brand, cementing our identity in the Nigerian food market. Simultaneously, we broke ground on our first dedicated factory, a state-of-the-art facility designed to meet growing demand and uphold our commitment to quality.

Equipping Our Factory with Specialized Machinery
A major leap forward as we outfitted our new factory with cutting-edge peanut butter and peanut coating machinery. This significant investment allowed us to dramatically increase our production capacity and efficiency. The state-of-the-art peanut butter equipment ensures smooth, consistent quality in every jar, while the peanut coating machinery perfects our signature Peanut Burger snacks.
2023
Market Launch of Our First Product Line
A momentous occasion as we unveiled our inaugural product line to the Nigerian market. After months of meticulous research and development, we proudly introduced our premium peanut butter, cashew butter, and roasted cashew nuts. Each product was crafted to meet the highest standards of taste and nutrition, reflecting our commitment to quality and local ingredients. This launch marked Dodan Foods' official entry into the competitive snack and spread market, offering consumers healthier, locally-produced alternatives.
November 2023
Launch of Innovative Coconut Coated Peanuts
In a bold move towards healthier snacking, we developed and launched our unique coconut coated peanuts. This innovative product combines the rich flavors of peanuts and coconut in a delightful, crunchy snack. Staying true to our commitment to health-conscious choices, we made the deliberate decision to roast these treats instead of frying them. This roasting process not only enhances the natural flavors but also offers significant health benefits, reducing fat content while preserving the nuts' nutritional value.
February 2023
Expansion into Ready-to-Eat Meals with Extended Shelf Life
In a groundbreaking move, we expanded our production capabilities by opening a specialized kitchen dedicated to creating ready-to-eat meals. This innovative venture allows us to offer popular Nigerian delicacies with an impressive shelf life of over a year, without compromising on taste or nutritional value. By combining traditional recipes with modern food preservation techniques, we've developed a line of convenient, long-lasting meals that capture the authentic flavors of Nigerian cuisine. This expansion not only diversifies our product range but also addresses the growing demand for convenient, high-quality local foods with extended storage capability. As we prepare to launch these products to the public, we're excited to bring the taste of home to Nigerians, whether they're busy professionals, students, or simply seeking a quick, delicious meal option.
June 2023
Introduction of Dodan Crunchy Chin Chin
Expanding our snack offerings, we proudly developed our own version of the beloved Nigerian snack, chin chin. This crispy, sweet treat is a staple in Nigerian households and social gatherings, making it a natural addition to our growing product line. Our Dodan Chin Chin is crafted to perfection, balancing traditional flavor with modern production techniques to ensure consistent quality and extended freshness. By introducing this popular snack, we further solidified our commitment to celebrating Nigerian culinary traditions while meeting the evolving tastes of our customers.
